Hello Greyson!
I thought your connection between pedagogy and personal training is really insightful! I agree adaptability is key in both fields, and I love your example of modifying workouts for clients with different needs which aligns perfectly with Universal Design for Learning.
I also agree that organization is crucial, whether in teaching or training. Being prepared will always ensure a smoother learning experience, even if everything doesn’t go completely to plan, being prepared will help limit variability in any situation. Your point about the “why” really resonated with me too growing up playing sports my whole life. I can really understand the connection between understanding purpose and how it boosts motivation, whether in academics or fitness. Overall I really enjoyed reading your blog. Thank you for sharing!
